For me, I think Freddy became an icon cause he was around when I was a teenager and I don't think that most of the younger generation will enjoy him as much. I own all of the movies and they will always be collectibles to me; I also have his figure still in a box.
Yes, his lines are goofy and some of the killings may seem a bit cheezy but that's who Freddy is and it's hard for me not to like him! Everyone always remembers him for the hat, sweater, knife fingers, and the burnt skin. How many people don't know him due to these famous trademarks??
